Setting Up Your Initial PIN

M3-631 & M3-691

Your keyless entry system comes factory pre-programmed with 1 random code and 1 PIN. The factory pre-programmed PIN is 1-2-3-4. If you are using other remote control transmitters to operate your garage door, the transmitter code must be transferred to the keyless entry system from the active transmitter you are already using.

To Program PIN & Transfer the Code from a Transmitter

M3-631 & M3-691

Open terminal and connect the keyless entry system to the active transmitter using the programming connector.

Press and hold the transmitter button you use to open and close the door. On the keyless entry system, press the ENTER button. The keypad will illuminate.

Input any new 4-digit PIN of your choice. Press ENTER button again. Continue pressing the transmitter button until the LEDs on the keyless entry system blinks rapidly.

This indicates the keyless entry system has learned the code from the transmitter, and stored it under the PIN that you entered. Remove programming connector and close the terminal.

M13-631

Press and hold the (3) button for at least 3 seconds to activate the programming mode. LEDs will light up for 10 seconds.

Immediately aim the top of the transmitter very close to the buttons (5) and (6).

Press and hold the button you use to operate the door and move transmitter slowly down towards the number (8) and (9) area.

Release the transmitter button when LEDs on keypad flash.

Immediately enter a 4-digit PIN of your choice.

(All Models) To control more than one garage door, repeat the above steps using the individual transmitters and a unique PIN for each garage door.

(All Models)To store more than one PIN for a single opener, repeat above steps with a single transmitter for each additional PIN

Storing a Temporary PIN

Press and hold the (1) button on the keypad for 3 seconds until the LEDs on the keypad blinks rapidly.

Enter your programmed PIN followed by the ENTER button.

Enter a temporary 4-digit PIN of your choice followed by the ENTER button

The LEDs on the keypad will illuminate for 2 seconds, then shut off.

The temporary PIN is now ready to use and will be active for 3 uses then erased.

Repair or Replace?

As the largest moving part in your home, the safe, secure, and efficient operation of your garage door is essential.

Repair

When your garage door opener stops working properly, it can often be repaired without too much problem and repair is typically a less expensive option than replacing your unit. We often recommend repair over replacement for this reason.

Replace

There are times when replacement is your best option:

If your opener is more than 15 years old we recommend replacement to improve the safe operation of your door. Note: Federal Regulations (UL 325) were updated in 1993 making garage door openers safer.

If we have safety concerns with a specific Brand or the manufacturer has been successfully sued for safety defects, we will not repair that model.

If there are no photo electric safety eyes present on your system, we will not be able to repair the unit.

If the brand no longer exists, parts will be unavailable & replacing your opener is usually the only option.

Warranty

At Precision Garage Door Service of Puget Sound, we take pride in our work and our reputation. That's why we back everything we do with an outstanding warranty.

Your Complete Satisfaction
is Our First Priority

What our customers say

We had our new garage doors installed by your company a few months ago and are so happy with how quiet and wonderful they worked! What I really wanted to thank you for is your wonderful customer service. After we had our doors up, we began to drywall the ceiling. Your technician (Mike) was very gracious in dropping the motor and rails for us to finish and then re-attached them later that evening. We just got back from a trip and one of the doors had a scraping noise. I called and you were here in a flash and fixed the issue. This is customer service that sets you apart from your competitors. When choosing Precision, it wasn't price that got my vote but your lifetime warranty and great customer service. Thank you from a very satisfied customer!
